DONOR HONOR ROLL

Help Palma Slay Cancer for his 30th Anniversary

I played basketball for Coach Valvano at tiny Iona Colllege before he became famous. We slayed giants together: Louisville, Kansas, St. John’s, Seton Hall, Pittsburgh...we took them all down with a slingshot — like David took down Goliath.

And together, we have one giant left to slay: Cancer.

Last December, cancer took my twin sister, Michelle. In her honor, I dedicate my 30th anniversary in the advertising industry with a fundraising celebration of fun, food, jokes and stories amongst the extended family of “Palma people.”

If I helped your career, agency or brand in the past 30 years, please return the effort and help me slay the giant of cancer. Please make a donation. And please attend the anniversary party on 10/10/19 at Druid Hills Golf Club in Atlanta if you can.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I am excited to support the V Foundation for Cancer Research, an organization whose mission is to declare Victory Over Cancer®
